any theories on what consciousness is?


Posts: 2876

so basicly everything about the human seems like it can be explained with science... i agree that basicly.. were a self replicating virus to the universe and i think that goes to all life........ but what on earth is consciousness?

 

it almost seems like the body and subconscious or the entire mind perhaps has "kidnapped" the conscious and forced it to do the bodie's bidding in exchange for emotions which negativeily or positiviely effects it.... but that really makes no sense. what makes more sense is that it's all evolution, but that would imply that this sentience.. this "existance" we feel... it's not real

 

it stumps me so much..... but the answer must be simple, and i bet the answer is oh-so interesting. i personally think it must be the universe aware of itself... or perhaps each individual is a universe in itself

Do you really believe in evolution?

because at a certain point evolution requires it for evolution to continue on... our awareness is what seperates us from lower animals, it is why we are the most viable species on the planet...

any system sufficiently advanced takes on a form of consiousness... the same will be true for computers one day.

even if it was .00000000001, the universe is a big place and time is infinite. it was bound to get it right sometime

i'm sure there are far more complex systems than the human brain though... id argue that most humans are really simple.. like monkies
